Newman University celebrates the Feast Day of Blessed John Henry Newman

Oct 09, 2014

Newman University celebrated the Feast Day of Blessed John Henry Newman today, Oct. 9, with a Mass in St. John’s Chapel at noon. Newman’s Feast Day was set by Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI in 2010 and marks the date of his conversion rather than the traditional practice of his death. Cardinal Newman converted to Catholicism on Oct. 9, 1845.
